Founded in 1972, iA (Innovation Associates) builds pharmacy fulfillment systems that combine robotics and enterprise software for centralized and community pharmacy operations. The Binghamton-based company draws on more than three decades in pharmacy fulfillment, following an earlier history of custom engineering and manufacturing technologies for customers ranging from the U.S. Armed Forces to IBM and aerospace firms. Its NEXiA software suite coordinates prescription fulfillment from order acceptance through delivery, helping pharmacists spend less time on repetitive dispensing work and more time with patients.
